Deckiajuli, a North-Bank Garden Worth Seeking, Tops the Guwahati Sale
Deckiajuli's robust, bright CTC is a north-bank Assam garden worth seeking: the buyers who taste before they bid just rated it the season's best, setting a Rs 1,103 a kilogram record at the Guwahati auction.
If you want an exceptional Assam CTC, Deckiajuli is a garden worth knowing. The north-bank estate's robust, bright-liquoring leaf drew the highest bid of the season at the Guwahati Tea Auction Centre, where the buyers who taste before they pay rated a Broken Pekoe lot at a record Rs 1,103 a kilogram on June 3, the Assam Tribune and The Sentinel reported.
An auction price is the garden's mark: the running verdict of people who cup the tea before they bid, so a record says this month Deckiajuli's leaf drank better than anything else in the room. The estate sits on the north bank of the Brahmaputra in Sonitpur district and is owned by Parry Agro Industries, the Sentinel reported. A second lot from the same sale, graded BOP SM, fetched Rs 973 a kilogram.
The mark had been climbing. A week earlier, at Sale No. 22 on May 28, a premium Deckiajuli lot fetched Rs 800 a kilogram, short of the Rs 831 a kilogram that Hookmool Tea Estate had set earlier in the 2025-26 season. On June 3 the garden's own leaf cleared both at once.
